30 DAYS UNTIL VLD SEASON 3 AIRS.

This is regarding an incident where Israel bombed dozens of Lebanese civilians using explosive pagers they slipped into the supply chain. Never let any of the people in this screenshot try to convince you they aren’t thrilled at the death of civilians as long as those civilians are Arabs

Sinbad: Legends of the Seven Seas works well with Rick Riordan's characters!

Calypso: You…egotistical…  Apollo: You spoiled…  Calypso: Disrespectful!  Apollo: Deluded!  Calypso: Pretentious, pompous!  Apollo: High and mighty!  Calypso: Self-centered, untrustworthy, ungrateful, impossible, insufferable!  Apollo: At least I’m not repressed!  Calypso: REPRESSED?! I’ll show you “repressed!” ………………………………………………………………… Percy: (Throughout the Lightning Thief) Look, this is the way it works. First, I actually commit a crime, then you get to blame me for it! …………………………………………………………………. Magnus: And you are? Loki: Loki, the god of discord. You may have seen my likeness on the temple walls. Magnus: You know, they don’t do you justice. …………………………………………………………………. Carter: Do you realize how serious this is?Sadie: Do YOU realize how many times I’ve heard that today? …………………………………………………………………. Meg: So, how do we get down? Apollo: I don’t know. (She stares at him.) I don’t know yet. Meg: You scaled a thousand-foot tower of ice, and you don’t know how to get down? Apollo: Of all the ungrateful–! Look, if you’d rather take your chances on your own, that can be arranged! …………………………………………………………………. Magnus: [after one of the Viking men was eaten and then spit up my a sea monster but goes back to fighting it anyway] Give that guy a raise! ………………………………………………………………… Reyna: (Percy has his back to Reyna) Honestly you are the most boarish pig headed man I have ever met.

Percy: (Turns to respond) Hey Lady! I’ve seen the high born boys your type hangs out with ha… and I’m the only man you’ve ever met. …………………………………………………………………

Annabeth: Do you have a plan?

Percy: Uh… how about try not to get killed? ………………………………………………………………..

Piper: (Plotting how to escape the monster) So. What do we have to work with? Um… ropes?

Leo: Uh… no.

Piper: Grappling hooks?

Leo: Yeah-no.

Piper: (Exasperated) Your tools?

Leo: Hey, I’ve got this!

(Pulls out a knife)

Piper: Oh, great. He can pick his teeth when he’s done with us!

Must a show be “good”? Is it not enough to be an alternative history that asks “what if instead of the Catholic-Protestant schism causing complications in Tudor England, it’s Animorphs?” that’s super horny on main, has the vibe of A Knight’s Tale, surprisingly pretty accurate historical costumes (with a few notable exceptions), and a bunch of British character actors acting absolutely wild?

Fun fact about the early Catholic church is that, despite spending generations being persecuted by the Roman empire, it took less than 15 years under Theodosius I to go from “the empire is Catholic now” to “and also every other religion is banned.” You can literally read St. Augustine move from “state religious persecution is unacceptable” to “state religious persecution is cool actually” over his lifetime as Catholicism came to power. I’m sure there’s no broader lessons to be learned there

Nothing like a trip to the uncanny valley to boost your mood

If you're in Australia you'll already know this, but for our international readers, basically the whole of Australia ground to a halt today because one of our two mobile/internet networks - Optus - just completely shat its dacks for about 9 hours, taking out the country's phones, internet and banking.

The funniest part though, is that apparently when the national broadcaster tried to reach out to find out what was going on - they discovered the quite forseeable problem that everyone at Optus used Optus for their phone and internet, so there was basically no way for their company to contact anyone inside or outside the company to work out what was going on or to try and fix it.

What a country.

I wish it was easier to talk about mobile phone addiction without sounding like a boomer

Okay but I have a request: Drunk Kara and Drunk Barry in the same room.
